Place reservation for The Brontës' Christmas : the festive season in Victorian EnglandWhile the Bronte family's celebrations weren't the most exuberant, Victorian society cheerfully embraced the newfound idea of Christmas as a time for feasts, decorations, the exchanging of gifts and parlour games. Through a selection of seasonal recipes, letters, poetry and extracts 'The Brontes' Christmas' meanders back in time to explore long-forgotten customs, including Vessel Maids and frumenty; the spice cake that Charlotte took around to her husband's parishioners; and childhood games enjoyed by the family.
